What the data says

Staffing rates 5 stars — roughly the top 2% of Texas nursing homes on this measure. Each resident receives about 248 minutes of nursing care per day, above the 241-minute threshold for a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Staff hours per resident also exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning these hours aren't being stretched thin by an unusually dependent population.

The quality-of-care rating tells a different story: 1 star overall on quality measures, with a 2-star rating for long-stay residents and 1 star for short-stay residents. That combination — strong staffing, low outcome scores — points to a question about how care is being planned and monitored, rather than whether enough hands are present.

The facility is operating at about 62% of its 100 licensed beds, with roughly 62 residents on an average day. All 100 beds are certified for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Staffing versus outcomes gap

    CMS rates staffing 5 stars but quality outcomes 1 star — ask how the facility tracks whether nursing hours are translating into measurable improvements in resident health.

  2. Short-stay quality score

    The 1-star short-stay quality rating covers residents recovering from surgery or illness — ask which specific measures drive that score and what the facility is doing to address them.

  3. Current occupancy and waitlists

    With about 62 of 100 beds filled, ask whether low occupancy reflects a recent opening, a pause on admissions, or another operational factor.

  4. License issued in 2024

    The initial license date is May 2024, making this a relatively new operation — ask how long the current clinical leadership and care team have been in place.

  5. Resident Council participation

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how family members can formally raise concerns or participate in care reviews outside of individual care conferences.
